i've never fucked with HID's before.. the STi and the Z are the only cars i have ever had that came with HID's. my question and problem are the following:

i slapped a D2cS bulb that is supposed to work with D2s and D2r in the 350z. however im supposed to use d2r's (have like a silver ribbon around bulb) and im not getting good visibility. actualy.. i can barely see streaks of hid blue on the road. ( i just did this half assed in GGPIS3's garage last night ), bulbs are 10,000k or whatever.. did i go to high in temp?.. is there a chance i didnt fit the bulb in right?.. do i need to realign the headlight?.. whats the deal here?

any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
